</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tweak and target your resume for each job. Be specific to the needs of the job and how you can fulfill them.<span> </span>Employers look for strong communication skills, motivation, teamwork, leadership, creativity and a strong work ethic.</span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Analyze what you think the company needs and demonstrate what qualifies you to fulfill that need. To do that look to the job description to identify key words and use those “power words” in your resume.<span> </span>Phrases such as “Well-organized and resourceful”, “Highly motivated and goal oriented”, or “A quick learner” have those key words employers are looking for. </span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Use action verbs such as: Achieved, Appointed, Awarded, Collaborated, Communicated, Constructed, Demonstrated, Drafted, Established, Increased, Negotiated, Obtained, Published, Reorganized, Represented, Synthesized, Transcribed, Verified, and Write to demonstrate your accomplishments in an active and engaging way. </span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Use effective titles that truly describe your roles, responsibilities and qualifications. Employers spend very little time actually looking at a resume so be descriptive and informative about your experience in a concise way. </span></li>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="circle"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bad: Secretary<span> </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Good: Admin Assistant -- MS Office Expert</span></li>
</ul></ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="circle"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Bad: Public Relations</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Good: PR Specialist -- PRSA Certified</span></li>
</ul></ul><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If you are applying for a job in the same field employers will know abbreviations such as A/R, A/P, PRSA, and HR. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Use numbers and quantifiable words to create a vivid image in the<br />
reader’s mind. Numbers and tangible items such as upward trends, increased participation, increased sales are impressive because they demonstrate concrete impact. </span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">List relevant skills, foreign languages, and knowledge including program and software such as Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe Creative Suite, along with operating systems such as Mac OS X and Windows 7.<span> </span>These type of technical knowledge can really set an applicant apart from the rest. </span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The layout and design is important.<span> </span>Make the information easy to read by not over crowding the document.<span> </span>By using bullet points it allows for easy to read short spurts of information.<span> </span>Put experience into logical chronological order, and put most useful and important skills higher up in the list. </span></li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Have a mentor look over your resume.<span> </span>And update your resume regularly</span></li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Lena Seino</div><div class="MsoNormal">PR/Social Media Intern, The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I am a senior public relations major graduating in May of this year, so like many of you I’ve been browsing online for any and every job prospect.<span> </span>One Sunday night in early February I started to take a look at Monster dot com. They require you to create a profile before you can delve deeply into their site. So, at the spur of the moment, I created an account, a profile, and posted my resume. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">By nine a.m. the next morning, my phone rang. It was a company rep who had seen my Monster profile!<span> </span>By the end of the day I had received three calls – two were requests for immediate phone interviews.<span> </span>One of the calls was from Comcast, wanting person-to-person (door to door) marketing reps, which is definitely not what I want to do. Another was a marketing firm looking to hire someone immediately, which I was unavailable for. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The third phone call was from a Japanese-based recruiting company, looking for bilingual candidates to place in companies that work both in Japan and America. With my experience in Japanese this is not only a very real prospect; it could be a fabulous first job after college. My resume is on file at that organization and they say I’ll be contacted if an opening comes up closer to my graduation date. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was shocked by the response I got from just posting my resume on Monster.<span> </span>I highly encourage you to join Monster if you are entering the job world. But first, here are some things to keep in mind:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 39.2pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>Know what kind of job you want and make sure your resume reflects your interests. That way you’ll be more likely to hear for the kind of companies you are most interested in. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 39.2pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>Be prepared to get phone calls and on-the-spot interviews soon after posting your information! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 39.2pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>Be aware that you may get an initial flurry of calls, and then nothing, so your original posts are very important. It’s been a month since that rush of calls and my phone has been quiet. I just updated my account info so we’ll see if that makes a difference. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 39.2pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>Don’t fall for the screens that are actually advertisers fishing for contacts. I realize this is a way that Monster makes money, but because they format the pages exactly like the account pages – it’s easy to be tricked!

</div><div style="text-align: left;">CBS Tokyo correspondent Lucy Craft will present two public lectures on the WSU Pullman campus,<br />
sponsored by the WSU Asia Program and The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication. "Reporting<br />
from Japan" will be held in CADD 218/220 Thurs., Feb. 10 at noon. "Anime Cool and Manga Chic: How<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Lucy Craft is a freelance reporter based in Tokyo. She covers pop culture, politics and technology<br />
throughout Asia for public broadcasting, newspapers and television networks in Japan and the United<br />
States. Craft produced the series “Robo Revolution” for Nightly Business Report. In it, she explores Japan's<br />
latest efforts to build robots that could change the way the world works.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">“The Japanese say that for robots to be commercially successful, they have to be like PCs: reliable,<br />
versatile and relatively cheap. For the Japanese, the personal robot is no longer the stuff of science fiction,<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">but a dream only a decade or so away from reality.”</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Along with a passion for robots and other cutting-edge technology, anime and manga are ubiquitous in<br />
Japan. The term “anime” refers to an animation style characterized by distinctive characters (often with<br />
exaggerated features) and backgrounds. The storylines are depicted in videos, television features and<br />
games. “Manga” is Japanese for “comics”. It took its current form, a blending of Japanese and western<br />
styles of drawing, shortly after WWII, and was the fastest growing segment of books in the U.S. in 2005<br />
according to Wikipedia.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">“To live in Japan is to be immersed in both fantasy, and robots,” says Craft.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Originally from Washington, D.C., Craft holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of<br />
Maryland and attended Cornell University along with receiving a master’s degree in international affairs<br />
from Columbia University.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07656296509498444118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576070098469318048.post-26425269113605881362011-02-03T11:03:00.000-08:002011-02-03T11:26:36.175-08:00Ted Koppel to receive Murrow award in the fall<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieK7TDr1CD-1rTIGJfDKmDfh_w7eS5N2YBijYPGhUgsi4QGx5vRAclsEaZW8Bv60Tf3bXgvRrfTHcdCsm6lw5SmJu1w0Tyf1aDnFtZm-IZ3-NA0qhF03GXla99TTIC2XgSey5va0JX/s1600/koppel.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 80px; height: 80px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieK7TDr1CD-1rTIGJfDKmDfh_w7eS5N2YBijYPGhUgsi4QGx5vRAclsEaZW8Bv60Tf3bXgvRrfTHcdCsm6lw5SmJu1w0Tyf1aDnFtZm-IZ3-NA0qhF03GXla99TTIC2XgSey5va0JX/s400/koppel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569542527207132050" border="0" /></a><br /><br />PULLMAN - ABC News veteran Ted Koppel will receive the 2011 Edward R.

WSU Athletics handed the reigns for this event over to the class, making the students responsible for tasks such as including designing and posting fliers, securing radio slots, creating pre- and post-game activities and offering prize incentives for attendance.<br />

Tammy Crawford, clinical assistant professor of sport management, and Kate Bostwick, graduate student in sport management, talk about this drastic change to the cirriculum and how the experience makes these future WSU grads more marketable.<br />

Between jobs, internships, student groups and clubs, Greek organizations, community service, hobbies, and the mass amounts of studying each class requires; it's easy to get overwhelmed. Lord forbid, something were to go astray to each strategically planned scheduled event! Overtime, college students begin to accumulate a large amount of stress. So how do we get all of those scrambled ducks back in a line?<br /><br /><strong>Two words: stress management. </strong><br /><br />We all know chugging an energy drink in order to finish a paper that's due the next day is one tactic to getting the job done. However, it is not the healthiest. Incorporating mass amounts of sugar only increases short-term energy which also increases stress levels. So how do we manage to fulfill all our obligations in a healthy, yet timely manner? <br /><br />Here are some stress relieving tips that students can use to not only excel while managing all the different facets of university-level education, but also can be used during real-life dilemmas. <br /><br />1.<strong>Manage Time Wisely:</strong> It’s important to give yourself plenty of time to work on your studies if you want to do well, and you can save yourself a lot of stress if you plan ahead with good time management skills. Setting up a schedule for study, breaking up your studies into smaller chunks, and other time management skills are essential. Here are some more time management tips you may find helpful.<br /><br />2.<strong>Get Organized:</strong> Have a system of organization for note-taking, keeping track of assignments, and other important papers. Being organized can bring you the peace of mind that comes from knowing where everything is, remembering deadlines and test dates, and clearing your mind of some of the mental clutter that disorganization brings. Keep a calendar or planner, a schedule, and a filing system for your school assignments, and you’ll find it prevents a significant amount of stress!<br /><br />3.<strong>Create a Good Study Environment</strong>: Creating a soothing environment can reduce stress and help you learn. Aromatherapy, for example, is a known stress reliever, and peppermint essential oil is said to wake up your brain, so I recommend burning it as you study. Playing classical music as you study can also soothe you and help you learn (unless you find it distracting). Here's more on finding a good study space.<br /><br />4.<strong>Know Your Learning Style</strong>: Did you know that we don’t all learn in the same way? It’s important to know whether you’re a visual, kinesthetic or auditory learner, as you can tailor your study practices around your particular learning style and make success easier to attain. Grace Fleming provides a quiz to help you assess your learning style so you can streamline your efforts.<br /><br />5.<strong>Practice Visualizations</strong>: Visualizations and imagery are proven stress management techniques. You can also reduce student stress and improve test performance by imagining yourself achieving your goals. Take a few minutes each day and visualize, in detail, what you'd like to happen, whether it’s giving a presentation without getting nervous, acing an exam, or something else that will support your success. Then work hard and make it happen!<br /><br />6.<strong>Develop Optimism</strong>: It’s been proven that optimists—those who more easily shrug off failures and multiply successes—are healthier, less stressed, and more successful. You can develop the traits of optimism and harness these benefits for yourself, and do better in your studies as a result.<br /><br />7.<strong>Get Enough Sleep:</strong> If you want your performance to be optimum you need to be well-rested. Research shows that those who are sleep-deprived have more trouble learning and remembering, and perform more poorly in many areas. Work your schedule so you get enough sleep, or take power naps.<br /><br />8.<strong>Use Stress Management Techniques</strong>: Chronic stress can actually impair your ability to learn and remember facts as well, stress management is one of the most important--and most overlooked--school necessities. A regular stress management practice can reduce your overall stress level and help you to be prepared for whatever comes. This self test will help you choose wisely.<br /><br /><br />More of this list is provided <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/studentstress/ht/schoolstress.htm">here</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576070098469318048.post-77174403230568896192010-12-01T09:39:00.000-08:002010-12-01T09:44:46.813-08:00Most Washington state jobs will require post-secondary education within next 10 yearsWashington state is ranked sixth in the nation for the number of jobs that require post-secondary education, with 67 percent of jobs requiring post-secondary education by 2018, according to research from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. <br />
